Edexcel GCSE Chemistry (Paper 1)

Heyy, I just had a mock and I’m pretty sure it was the Chemistry Paper 1 from last GCSE (May 2023). Didn’t go too well, honestly. I would just like to ask if someone that took it during May had a periodic table?? I think if mines had one it would’ve been great help but the last few pages were blank - I saw that others noticed the lack of any periodic table too. I know we don’t get any formulas as we’re in the 2024 group, but does that include the periodic table too?? I could be mistaken.

Thanks!

Heyy,
Sorry I know that this is a bit off-topic. But do you mind telling me any of the questions or topics even?

Any help would be greatly appreciated,
Thanks!

Sure! It won't let me private message as this is a new account, I'm not keen on posting it publicly. Do you have anywhere else I can contact? If not, I'll probs just post regardless.

If you're taking the same exam, good luck! I'm sure you will be fine if your teachers and yourself put enough effort to teach/learn C1-16 (??).

This is the Higher Tier by the way, so I'm not really sure what topics weren't included in the Combined test.

it may have been a printing error because pretty sure you get the periodic table in all chemistry exams
